00:00Yeah, and to be honest, part of the sophomore slump might be him making faster decision-making

00:08that it's going to work out for him because some of the escapes that he tried to make

00:11when the when the when the line was crumbling in front of him or the pocket was crumbling,

00:15you're going too deep back. And that's kind of a big mistake when you're a bit younger.

00:19So a play that you could have kind of somewhat kept going too many yards lost. So the decision-making

00:24process when the when the pocket goes crumbling, he's got to work on that. And yeah, it sucks

00:28to have a bad offensive line in front of you. But that just comes with the practice

00:33of being at the NFL. If those are things he can get under his belt, get out of his comfort

00:36zone a little bit, then yeah, he could probably get back there. But I'd agree it's a bit of

00:39a slump. Touching 200 passing yards is kind of in tight for him. And then outside of that,

00:44the decision-making process when he's running out of time is not all that well. So before

00:49we wrap up on final thoughts, again, Jets topping 21 to 13 over the Houston Texans.

00:53Any other final thoughts, angles, or things that you picked up from in this Thursday night

00:57matchup?

00:58Ultimately, like I said, I think the Texans still win their division. I think they're

01:02going to be fine. They just have to look get healthy, which is obviously a weird thing

01:06to say or tough thing to say. It's like there's no timetable and everything. I think they'll

01:09be fine. I think there is hope alive for the Jets to make the playoffs. It's not going

01:13to be easy, but I think there is hope especially, you know, they can finish second in their

01:18division. I don't think the Dolphins will eventually get there. I think it'll be the

01:21Bills then the Jets and they have to win the crucial games. They have to win these one

01:25possession games that stop fumbling the ball. They have to stop dropping the ball at the

01:28goal line. They have to make their field goals. Like if they start doing everything at a much

01:32simpler and basic level, I think they will be okay.

01:35All right. Well, that gives us something more to talk about because of course now the larger

01:39conversation is if you're not giving up on the Jets, where does this place them in the

01:43division? Where does this place them with their record at the end of this season and

01:47how can they compete the Dolphins team or with a Bill's team that will be facing off

01:51with the Dolphins? The Bills odds have been obviously stacking over the past couple of

01:54weeks. The success and the consistency has been there, but the Jets can probably present

01:58just enough of an issue. Just as Tom mentioned, all they have to do is clean up some of the

02:02things, simplify the game and get back to the form that we were starting to see things

02:05come to week one and two.
